Phase Controlled Rectifier

The below shown single phase controlled rectifier configuration is a

• Two pulse B-2 Connection

• Two pulse M-2 Connection

• Single pulse M-2 Connection

• Single pulse B-2 Connection

In the below shown circuit,the thyristor T2 would conduct from ωt =

A single phase full controlled bridge converter (B-2) uses

• 2SCRs and 2 Diodes

• 4SCRs

• 4SCRs and 2 Diodes

• 4 Diodes

The advantage of using free wheeling diode is

• Reliable speed control

• Improved input power factor

• reduced cost

• Regenerative braking

The average output voltage of a half controlled bridge rectifier is
